I was shopping at Southdale and had heard good things about the new Kowalski's so decided to drop by and check it out. I ordinarily shop at my neighborhood Kowalski's at 54 th and Lyndale Avenue South which used to be Red Owl (are you old enough to remember Red Owl?). My neighborhood Kowalski's is small (intimate when you are trying to pass someone in a lane), dark, and sometimes stock is limited. The Kowalski's at Southdale is overwhelming. It is large, well lighted and well stocked. I felt like a refugee from a third world country. We decided to pick up lunch. In addition to Kowalski's superb soups they had a pho/ramen bar. I was dubious as I love pho at Vietnamese restaurants but this wasn't bad definitely tasted like pho. There were many other choices for prepared food to take out. We bought a few things and as is typical of Kowalski's the staff were friendly and helpful. There is parking at the entrance and they will carry your purchases to your car. I doubt I will drive all the way to Southdale for my regular shopping but I must say I was overwhelmed in a positive sense. read more

I first stoped by during the Rediscover Southdale event, and boy was I impressed! This Kowalski's is awesome. It's beautifully laid out, well-stocked and well-organized, and is full of delicious things and helpful staff to connect you with said delicacies. Located in Southdale Mall, this is pure convenience for both your regular grocery shopping AND snacks on the go. They've got an amazing selection of ready-to-eat items, including a ramen bar (those exist!), a salad bar, a grill, and pizza. The store is clean, bright, and welcoming with an upscale feel. I definitely recommend visiting if you're at the mall. It's a bit out of the way for me to replace my regular grocery store, but I would probably pick it over the food court these days. Bonus: they have awesome coffee! read more

Kowalski's Market - My favorite coffee is at Kowalski's! Amazing news! - Grocery Near Me - Edina, Minnesota

The service in the deli was horrendous. Employees eating food and walking by talking and laughing. The worst part was that we asked for help and she looked at us and then asked someone to help who was busy and she went back to making sandwiches. I asked for a manager and she said she was and that it was her job to have others help when she was busy with an attitude. I asked the nice man what her name was and they said Paris. Well because of Paris, we will not be back. read more

My favorite market in MN! So clean, gorgeous, and amazing quality for everything! So much better than all the grocery stores I've been to in CA. I can hang out there all day lol Thank you JUSTIN and the crew at the meat department! You can tell how much he is great at his job and passionate and knows everything about the quality and types of meat and seafood they serve. Best service I have ever received! Thank you!!! read more

This store is lovely. The hibachi counter sadly was disgusting. I ordered chicken, veggies and rice. It was dry and fishy tasting and very expensive. the guys making it were super friendly but it was gross. don't bother. read more

Dining for everyone!! Plus you can grab your groceries or hit the mall. Great concept! read more

My wife and I were out and about in Edina, MN and there is a new grocery store that is very high end that opened in the Southdale Mall, the first mall in America. When you walk in you notice that there are lots of team members ready to help and they have a vast array of fresh olives, salads, deli meats, soups about everything you can think of. They even have a pizza and a burger place inside. I would have tried some pizza, but they were closed for the fourth. The have a great assortment, but everything is super expensive. Edina is considered a type of Scottsdale level type community, so I figure they think they can jack everything up 15%. Overall, I would never do everyday shopping here, especially since there is a Target across the street, but if price is of no concern, you may like it. read more

Kowalski's market in is has a wonderful hot bar! They have so much to choose from. You can get burgers cooked for you while you wait the same with fresh Asian food made right before your eyes. They also have hot foods in the case like creamy macaroni, fried chicken and more. also a salad bar and everything looks clean and fresh. Everyone is nice and I've always gotten good service from the staff. read more

I had to check out Kowalskis at Southdale and I feel like this store has everything. From pho to burgers, ice cream and even growing their own basil onsite. It's definitely pricey but well organized and laid out. read more

Wow! What a fabulous addition to the Edina/southdale community! This is the grocery store of all grocery stores, plus some. If you can't find what you are looking for here, keep looking -- because I'm sure they have it! The offerings here are fantastic, including an amazing produce section, deli, meat counter, seafood, Starbucks, smoothies, pizza, wing bar, burgers, create your own pho and hibachi, sushi, salad and so, so much more. I'm always looking for easy and quick meal options, and I think I've found my new go-to. I go to lifetime right next door every week, so I already know I'll be stopping at this Kowalskis all the time. read more

i expected this store to have more speciality items, but it was just larger than other stores, the deli was disappointing as the selection was mediocre. I'll stick with the kowalski's on Lyndale. read more

What a great little neighborhood market! Wonderful deli/warm food choices. Wish I lived near this place!

Food is great! Had sandwiches one night then went back for hibachi bowl. Both were great! Never seen so many choices in one spot. Please bring a Kowalski's to Tehachapi, CA read more

Beautiful new facility with large lot and decor outside. Friendly staff at this new opening. It's like a pretty store with immaculate rows of produce, meats, deli, fresh meats that are beautiful in quality and fresh shishkabobs ready to grill Deli salads, salad bar, hot bar, sushi, breads and bakers items are fresh and high end. You will find higher prices. They pack and load and take groceries to your car if needed. Greenery and clothing up front. Everything Edina pricey. We bought whole frittata and delicious along with giant crescents, deli sandwich wraps all delicious. A place to eat fresh deli items. Beautiful store but your stars for prices. Milk was $1.00 more per half gallon. I would return for freshly made food. read more

Very nice store but more and more I hear comments about how expensive their food is. I'm just wondering the thoughts behind opening this when there are 3 major grocery stores within a few blocks with lower prices for the most part. I mall-walk frequently at Southdale and several times I've walked thru Kowalski's and just don't see many people in the aisles. Maybe it's just the times I'm going but that really makes me wonder. read more

Customer Service is alive and well at Kowalski''s. It's like shopping at an upscale department store. Beautiful.

Visually pretty store. Selection of cheese and counter service and expertise was very good. Pizza area is a disappointment. No pizzas to buy, no slices etc... not sure what they are there for? A few deep dish pizzas in freezer? Two people behind counter could not explain the concept. Meat and fish counter also a disappointment. Shrimp appeared wimpy. Not much selection of fresh fish. Steaks looked okay. Nothing special. Fresh vegetables looked good, but I was there to buy pre-prepared foods for a cocktail gathering. Wanted to buy fresh quac and it was packaged 2-3 days before. Some was already expired! I put in two complaints. Opened with great fanfare but I was underwhelmed. read more

Don't shop here as a person of color, unless you like being watched at self check out. Self checkout can be full, but it's has been my experience several times, that staff will reposition themselves to watch me pay and as soon as i do, they fall back, with no concern for whether or not "other people" pay. Sad experiences each time. read more
